The Florida State Seminoles battle the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic Saturday. Kickoff from Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Germany is scheduled for noon ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s'lines around the Florida State vs. Georgia Tech odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Florida State finished 13-1 last season, including 8-0 in the ACC. After beating Louisville to win the ACC Championship, the Seminoles ultimately lost to Georgia in the Orange Bowl. It came as a shock to many for the undefeated Seminoles to miss the College Football Playoff, even with QB Jordan Travis, who is now with the New York Jets, sidelined with an injury.
Georgia Tech finished 7-6 overall, including 5-3 in the ACC last season, good for 4th in the conference. The Yellow Jackets defense was problematic last season, giving up 31 or more points on 7 different occasions. It will need to set a new tone this season to stay competitive.
